Cold Snap

We are spending the weekend in Roybridge with the hill-walking club, and winter has definitely arrived with a cold snap. It has been snowing lightly here and this morning the road up into Glen Roy was scarily icy when I dropped James, Ally and Cat off for their walk. The dusting of snow in the mountains was beautiful and highlighted the parallel lines around the sides of all the mountains, which are in fact the marks of ancient lake shores. Hilary and I did our own canal walk at Gairlochy and then had a really lovely lunch at the Crannog in Fort William - another old favourite haunt. It occurs to me that I have been going back to a few of my favourite places recently, like the Grosvenor Cinema, the GFT and Café Gandolfi. It was good to pay my respects to Fort William today - another place of which I have many fond memories.
